Episode 210 - More Parts of Cladh Hallan

We will be taking a short break in October, folks, but we couldn’t leave you hanging with no Spooktober treats! Truly we are talking ancient history, since “Cladh Hallan: A Story in Several Parts” was episode 18. That was way back in 2018, long before the content that was migrated to the APN feed. This may be the first time some longtime listeners (including you?) have heard this story, and we’ll round it out with some additional context for the subject matter. Our feed will be on a short hiatus after this episode is released, but we’ll see you on the other side!
